Abstract excerpt
Acute myocardial injury has been demonstrated as a remote sequela of severe lower torso ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) due to proinflammatory events. In a model of I/R injury, administration of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-Inh) reduces myocardial necrosis. We investigated the susceptibility of the left (LV) versus right ventricle (RV) and the protective effect of transgenic C1-Inh-overexpressing mice. Two groups of mice...
